Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported. Staff identify gaps in children's learning and work closely with external agencies to create targeted support plans. This ensures that staff find the best way to support individual children's needs. Outdoor space Children have daily opportunities to be active and play outdoors. They balance on an obstacle course and bounce on a trampette. Children engage in risky play independently, climbing up a big wooden climbing frame and confidently sliding down. They also use magnifying glasses to search for minibeasts in the garden and use books provided by staff to extend their knowledge of insects. ## Parent Reviews of Portland Kindergarten 3.7 (3) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocKxP0uGktFS0dz1o6y4FOV-OvIVgO4eEqh4E011QghKKVZsbWU=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Agne Aleksiejute 5 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUN5OVA2U2VBEAE!2m1!1s0x48785b2fcd161f53:0xbb35c2cab7ffcbbb) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/ACg8ocIrzy1bR6p5yXI9sLRmi3L5SWdFj0Vs2wFURD9XTwr_eQiK1w=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) Chermaine Chave 5 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNpdmJMbkZBEAE!2m1!1s0x48785b2fcd161f53:0xbb35c2cab7ffcbbb) ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjWGR65d0JfQgrBym3owVzpZxNWoSgTQPCwLw6NlpHjx0coa6VJZ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo) PAULINA P 6 years ago [Read on Google](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m6!14m5!1m4!2m3!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNVNGVpUjZRRRAB!2m1!1s0x48785b2fcd161f53:0xbb35c2cab7ffcbbb) Reviews from Google for Portland Kindergarten.
